Thanks for the link Misha! I wandered around that site for about an hour last night. I like how they post challenges for all visitors to play with. Good way to work on your skills.

I still didn't find much info on how to approach hair though. I agree that is kinda looks like a wig right now. One thing that I tried that did work was tinting the base black and white layer. It works wonderfully on the hair, but throws off the rest of the colors. If I can figure out a good way to mask it, I may do it that way.

I also agree about the lace. The problem there is that the pink should show through the lace, so it's basically just a time-consuming task of deselecting the bits that I want to show through. I'll also try the reflecting idea and see what happens.
